Wired Magazine have this month released The World In 2013 Special Edition issue, crammed full of the kind of scientific prophesying and intellectual rhetoric that makes your head spin whilst simultaneously providing inspiration. It’s also chock full of great illustration, including our own Leandro Castelao, who handled the Science chapter.

Each spread (which you can view below) covers a different corner of the modern science world, from open source research to better calculate pay cheques to the genome sequencing of the human brain, how religion and science interlink, and using prime numbers in quantum physics to better protect your credit cards.
